I love atoms and enjoy teaching organisms about atoms 😄 I'm also an avid gamer and fund-raise through Extra Life annually. I plan to post some fun physics stuff here but will probably have some auto notifications too like when I get donations or go live on Twitch. Let's grow!

The school district tried an opt-out policy, but it became significantly disruptive and burdensome.
Regardless, schools are not your local babysitter- they prepare kids for public life; if you want totally control what YOUR children see, homeschool THEM.

SCOTUS rules parents have a right to prevent their kids from reading books with LGBTQ+ characters - LGBTQ Nation
"Exposing students to the 'message' that LGBTQ people exist" over parental objections is now not allowed.

Has anyone had/taught a physics lab like this? Groups of 2 each use a big whiteboard as a "lab notebook" to report results/notes real-time, then after everyone can more easily see similarities/differences, discuss, and must(?) cite each other to qualify their own lab reports ⚛ #iteachphysics #edusky

A WELL-DESERVED CONGRATULATIONS to the graduating class- they have all overcome many challenges in their pursuit of knowledge, some in a hostile environment, and will go on to do great things!
Fuck the haters, even the ones in leadership positions; it is toxic and anti-social to behave this way.

I see posts like "I won't file taxes, why should I pay with X going on?" but I'm pretty sure the vast majority of taxpayers are waged employees who have taxes auto-deducted from their paychecks; you ALREADY paid. Aside from being a crime, not filing taxes may just as easily LOSE your tax refund, no?

Every single educator and academic institution that claims to care about their students' safety needs to be on high alert for these apparently blatantly illegal and fascistic tactics. This is an emergency and should be treated as such- communicate with students and develop an action plan, yesterday.
The footage of Rumeysa Ozturk’s arrest – a student here legally – is disturbing. My office is closely monitoring this matter as it develops.

A standing ovation for federal workers by the thousands of physicists who are meeting in Anaheim this week, supporting their colleagues in science agencies who couldn’t afford—or weren’t allowed—to come. Sorry, no pictures, in part out of green-card holders’ fears. #APSGlobalSummit2025 #APSMarch

#Math / #Physics folks, especially those good with geometry: I take a solid sphere and carve out a spherical cone. The cone radius may be as deep as the sphere's radius, but not necessarily (in case that changes anything).

The cost-saving claims don’t hold up. Every dollar in NIH research grants generates $2.46 in economic activity, research shows—a total of $93 billion in 2023 alone.
“It’s incredible to me that we would give up this thing that has such obvious societal benefits,” says biologist Mark Peifer.

This is ghoulish- the protections are for the children, so this targets them. Schools are already reporting possible incidents, others are scrambling to make contingency plans for interactions. Sadly, some are preemptively affirming compliance. Educators, how do we protect our students?
